Need help thinking up a backstory

Level 11

Hiker

In a Pokémon comic I'm making the main character is going to get a Vulpix named Jewel later on. I'm going to have Jewel evolve in the same chapter where they catch Mewtwo, and I want to come up with a backstory that connects the two, and would make Jewel mad at team Rocket and eager to fight Mewtwo. problem is, I can't think of anything. Any ideas? please help

things to note
-the comic is supposed to take place in the gen 1 games
-the main character finds Jewel in Cinnabar Mansion
-I was thinking the backstory could have something to do with Jewel's mother working for Team Rocket

Well, I imagine since Team Rocket funded the research and creation of Mewtwo on Cinnabar Island, maybe Jewel once lived in the mansion before and/or during it was taken over. Maybe Jewel's mother worked as a scientist (or an assistant) before Mewtwo escaped and went on a rampage. Just throwing that possibility out there.

I've always been interested in Mewtwo's cloning experiments seen in the first movie. Maybe Jewel was cloned, and the Jewel that your MC is training is either the original or the clone, whichever you think is more interesting. Personally, I would lean toward making your MC's Jewel be the clone, so that there'd be a stronger motivation to meet the original; but either way would have plenty of potential.
